Champions League Draw (Shakhtar, Napoli, Feyenoord)

[lancs blue]

How fucking convenient.

Shaktar away before the Derby. Meaning the rags will be at home.

If we haven't sealed top spot before the Shakhtar game then we'll only have ourselves to blame.

Donetsk away in December... Pack your thermals.

And your knuckledusters, 3 tasty away fixtures there

Or Qualification full stop.

As others have alluded finishing 2nd might be advantageous.

Well that's me buggered. Feyenoord is the only one I'd do and the week it's on is the only week I can't do

We've actually been pretty fortunate imo.

Shakhtar away might not even matter and Napoli away, our hardest game, is followed by Arsenal at home who will have to play Thursday night the same week. Can't really argue with that.

 

[whitenoise]

Feyenord. 3 teams with tasty away supporters, could be interesting

Payback for booing the jingle?

I'm struggling to see that, especially if the rags, dippers and chavs win their groups. We'll be left with probably Bayern, Juve/Barca and Real Madrid as tough opponents or Monaco/Porto as the only favourable draw.

Shakhtar away before rags is a pain but a different way to look at it is this set of fixtures gives us the best chance to make that game meaningless.

Same here. Well I might be able to but would be tricky and can't commit to it now. Had heard it was gameweek 4 and was there ready to book flights! Well annoying

Fooking Khirkiv in december ffs, if the spetsnaz don't accidently shoot you the minus 30°C cold will probably freeze your knackers off.
